Five Points The Gangs of New York : OMG what a close game!

Can't believe how close it was! Last careless mistake i made cost me the game

So I was eager to bring this to the table again because of a few errors in rules in the previous game and also to try out the different buildings. I must say this was an excellent 2nd game. I was the only one that played this before so I had a slight advantage but the buildings were new. 2 of the new players were doing quite well and they were in the lead in terms of bosses on the board. While the other 3 tried to tackle them both to prevent from winning, the 2 leaders decided to gang up against the rest of us.

I sneaked in for the WIN! 

I heard of this game and wasn't too keen on it because it did not look particularly unique until I heard Donald Dennis of OnBoardgames rave about this. So when it arrived in my local Online boardgame shop, i decided to give it a go and see what it is all about.
In essence, this game is all about area control. Its an abstract light-medium weight euro-style game and reminds me a lot like a tammany hall light but without the negotiations.
